I do hope you had a lovely week. Apparently, July is National Ice Cream Month, did you know this? If you’re looking for a way to stay cool and enjoy a sweet treat the San Diego Union Tribune has put together a list of the best ice cream shops in the county! Check out the list here Quite a few are fairly close by.
Below are your weekly updates:
The SDG&E power outage is scheduled for Monday, July 31st at 10:00pm-Tuesday, August 1st at 4:00am. A reminder email will be sent out on Saturday and a notice has been placed on the HOA Community Bulletin Boards with helpful information to assist you in your preparation and some insight into the steps that the HOA is taking to ensure your safety and lessen disruptions.
In an attempt to provide you with as much notice as possible and, ideally, create as little inconvenience as possible we’d like for you to know that there will be a full building water shut off on Tuesday, August 15th at 8:30am. We will post notices and send reminders multiple times between now and then. Please plan accordingly with your schedule, any vendors doing work in your unit, & your tenants and let me know if you have any questions.
August 8th at 6:00pm is the next Board Meeting. If you have any items that you’d like to Board to review on your behalf, e.g. architectural requests, account adjustment reviews, general member correspondence, etc., please provide that information to me by Monday, July 31st.
Please reach out with any questions or just to grab a cup of coffee and chat.
Hopefully you enjoyed the cool morning we just had and are well prepared for the warmth of Summer to settle back in. Just a reminder that ComicCon will be in effect through the weekend, so plan accordingly.
Below are your weekly updates:
Earlier today you should have received an email about the SDG&E planned power outage from July 31 at 10:00p-August 1 at 4:00am. In addition to the information provided in the email we sent and the links provided we want to highlight that the elevators will be out of order during the outage.
In the name of preparation, if there is an emergency in the building and you know you will not be able to navigate the stairs and/or you have any special need or request, please let Security know before the outage, so we can report such to any Emergency Services.
Also, please be thinking about devices that you will need a battery back up for or which you’ll need to have fully charged prior to the outage; cell phones, medical devices, flashlights, etc.
In the coming weeks I will be doing a thorough review of the parking garage to make certain that we have compliance with the storage of items. Please note that no items may be left on the garage floor, oil pans excluded, and must be stored on the provided hooks. If you have any items on the ground, I will be sending notices requesting they be removed. If you have any questions or concerns, I encourage you to contact me.
August 8th at 6:00pm is the next Board Meeting.

I hope everyone is doing well, staying cool, and enjoying this San Diego Summer!!! As we enter the peak season of tourism, it is important to be mindful of the upcoming ComicCon, scheduled from Thursday, 7/20, to Sunday, 7/23. This renowned event brings about an anticipated surge in traffic, visitors, and general excitement. I urge you to plan your activities accordingly and remain aware of the potential impacts on travel time and pedestrian and vehicular congestion.
Below are your weekly updates:
Your Board of Directors met on Tuesday, July 11th and provided updates on the OPOS and Window Washing projects;
For the OPOS, the next steps involve implementing the anchors on the rooftop. Destructive testing will be completed on the fourth and fifth floors, so the engineering company can see the trusses that the anchors will attach to and determine what will be required. Once this has been determined it will be submitted to the City and the State and, once approved, the HOA can work to obtain bids for the work. The destructive testing is scheduled for Monday July 17th. The locations they are opening will be covered but not closed up until they have everything they need to move forward.
Regarding the window washing, the Board would like to inform the Ownership that the completion of the window washing is based on requirements being provided to the HOA by Cal/OSHA. One of the requirements includes a signed contract with a company to complete the installation of the anchors. The HOA will continue to work with Cal/OSHA and will proceed according to their requirements. As you can see these two items are tied closely together. We will continue to keep you updated.
The approved meeting minutes from the June 13, 2023 meeting are posted on the HOA portal for your review.
SDG&E has rescheduled their planned power outage for July 31st at 10:00pm-August 1st at 4:00am. This outage will be for the replacement of meters. The HOA will be sending information about the outage to occupants towards the end of next week with some suggestions that SDG&E recommends for preparation during an outage. We will also be taking steps to ensure that the building is secure during this time.
Below are some additional dates to be mindful of:
July 18th at 10:00am is the Quarterly Maintenance Walk-Through. Please let me know if you’d like to join.
July 20th at 8:00am, as part of the OPOS requirements, there will be rooftop coring. This will likely not be disruptive work.
July 21st at 9:00am is the Monthly Landscape Walk-Through. Please let me know if you’d like to join.
If we have not had the chance to meet yet in-person, and you’d like to, please call or email me to set up a time. I look forward to the chance to get to know each of you.
Thank you for your cooperation this week in reducing your water usage during the plumbing repairs in the garage. Your efforts made a huge difference!

As this is a Federal Holiday, no work will be permitted in the building.

I appreciate everyone’s warm welcome as I step into my new role as the General Manager. I am available to you. Please reach out with any questions or concerns.
I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude for the warm welcome I have received as the new General Manager. Your kind words have been greatly appreciated, and I am genuinely excited about the opportunity to work alongside each and every one of you.
In these weekly Community updates, I aim to provide you with valuable insights and information pertaining to our esteemed Watermark Community. I strongly encourage you to reach out to me with any questions or concerns you may have. If you are currently leasing out your unit, kindly ensure that all relevant information is effectively communicated to your occupant, or alternatively, provide us with their email address so that we can ensure they receive important HOA-related communications.
Without further ado, let me share some noteworthy updates & reminders with you:
Underlayment work in the Community Room is scheduled to commence on Monday, June 26th. This anticipated two to three-day project will temporarily render the Community Room unavailable.
Mark your calendars for the eagerly awaited July 4th BBQ celebration, set to take place from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, July 4th. To ensure ample food for all attendees, please sign up by the June 30th deadline. This event is complimentary for residents and costs $10.00 for your guests. The organizing committee kindly requests the assistance of a willing volunteer to handle the grilling duties. Rest assured, there will also be delectable vegetarian options available.
The 2022 Financial Review has been mailed and is also accessible on the resident portal.
Please take a moment to address any excess storage at your parking space(s) within the garage. Items may not be stored on the ground and will need to be moved ASAP. If you would like an assessment of your parking area to ensure compliance with the requirements, feel free to reach out to me.
In the interest of maintaining a pleasant environment, I urge everyone to properly bag and tie off their garbage before disposing of it down the chute. This small action can significantly reduce unpleasant odors and minimize costs associated with unscheduled cleaning of the chutes.
Please take note of the following upcoming dates:
July 4th: As a Federal holiday, no work will be permitted. Please notify your contractor.
July 11th, 6:00 p.m.: The next Board Meeting will be held in the Community Room, with an option to participate via Zoom.
